Arsene Wenger has named an unchanged side for Tuesday night's Champions League Group F clash against Bayern Munich.

Despite impressing when appearing off the bench, Olivier Giroud finds himself among the substitutes again and Theo Walcott is preferred up front.

Petr Cech, who was controversially left out of the club's home defeat to Olympiakos in the last round of fixtures, starts in goal.

Young goalkeeper Matt Macey is named on the bench in David Ospina's absence.

Pep Guardiola makes one change from the side that maintained a record-breaking 100 per cent winning start in the Bundesliga with this weekend’s 1-0 victory at Werder Bremen.

The highly-rated attacking midfielder Douglas Costa replaces Rafinha.
